Roe vs Wade: 43 years ago
Roe vs Wade made abortion legal in the USA
What can I say?
Well I have to say it is wrong
To kill a baby because you don't want it to belong
If you don't want the responsibility that comes with romance
It's quite simple: keep it in your pants!
You may say, easy for you to do
Nobody wants to have sex with you
All I can do is give my opinion in what I believe
If you want to have unprotected sex then you just may conceive
A baby that will take a lot of your time
And certainly it will cost many a dime
So instead of abortion, here's another option
You can always choose adoption

About this poem:
This is certainly a touchy subject. I just believe that we need to protect the quality of life, especially protecting those who cannot protect themselves, no matter what the age.Borrowed Money
Can I borrow some money?
I will pay it right back
Just right now I lack
The funds to pay my bills
Seems I spent too much money on too many thrills
I ate out every meal
I smoked a pack a day
I forgot to save for a rainy day
You see I believe in living in the here and now
The past and future, I don't know how
You can worry about such things and take away from the fun
Of living in the moment and life on the run
So it seems I'm in a pickle
I don't even have a nickel
So please don't think it's a crime
If I borrow a dime
Or more because of the wisdom I lack
And don't be surprised if I don't pay it right back
So call if you want cause it's no use
I will just make up an excuse
I will pay it right back
Just right now I lack
The funds to pay my bills
Seems I spent too much money on too many thrills
I ate out every meal
I smoked a pack a day
I forgot to save for a rainy day
You see I believe in living in the here and now
The past and future, I don't know how
You can worry about such things and take away from the fun
Of living in the moment and life on the run
So it seems I'm in a pickle
I don't even have a nickel
So please don't think it's a crime
If I borrow a dime
Or more because of the wisdom I lack
And don't be surprised if I don't pay it right back
So call if you want cause it's no use
I will just make up an excuse

About this poem:
I got a call from a family member wanting to borrow some money. I don't lend money to anyone for the trouble it causes and the peace I get to have not worrying about unpaid loans.Powerball
If you have a lot of luck
For just two bucks
You can win over a billion dollars
You will win and holler
Goodbye crappy job!
Hello steak and lobster!
I think I'll buy a porche or some other expensive car
I'll fly to vacation spots near and far
I'll shop till I drop for crap I don't even need
I'll feed and feed and feed
I will never again be in need
I can afford to see a dentist or a doc
My doors I won't have to lock
Cause if they steal all my stuff
I know I can go back to the bank where I have more than enough
I will finally be happy all the time
Not having to wait till after I have been given my dime
Free at last, free at last, I will truly finally be free at last!

About this poem:
The powerball got up to 950 million dollars Saturday night, but didn't go out. The odds of winning are 292 million to 1. It will be picked again on Wednesday where it is supposed to reach 1.3 billion or more. My ticket had two matching numbers. You need three number to get four bucks.

It is not the colour
of the skin
that you live in
or even
where you are born
it is
the colour
of your thoughts
that define
your state of mind
within a world
where thoughts
are becoming
colour blind

Post CommentCry
When i look
though these bars
of your disign
when i feel the sun
through the window blinds
when i smell fresh air
when you open the door
i bow my head
and cry
a little more

About this poem:
for the sliant tearsof breaking hearts
written for the woman
and children
whos only wish
is to be
simply loved
The last of us
Does our journey
through the pain and the torture
the rivers of blood
the sacrifices
that we
and our familys
have endured
down through the ages
does it all
end here
has the silent war
that our ancestors fought
so hard
to keep us alive
to bring us back
from the edge
has it all
been in vain
Slowly we are dieing
one by one
while we remain
scattered on this earth
does it all end
here
in this century
the final closeing of the circle
that haunts us
from the past
where greed and ignorance
once again achives
the destruction of our World
where directed chaos
breaks the bones
of our tatterd dreams
to reunite
different colors
different cultures
to reunite
the one tribe
that will bind us
the one tribe
that will set Free
our birth right
the right to be
a Human being
through the pain and the torture
the rivers of blood
the sacrifices
that we
and our familys
have endured
down through the ages
does it all
end here
has the silent war
that our ancestors fought
so hard
to keep us alive
to bring us back
from the edge
has it all
been in vain
Slowly we are dieing
one by one
while we remain
scattered on this earth
does it all end
here
in this century
the final closeing of the circle
that haunts us
from the past
where greed and ignorance
once again achives
the destruction of our World
where directed chaos
breaks the bones
of our tatterd dreams
to reunite
different colors
different cultures
to reunite
the one tribe
that will bind us
the one tribe
that will set Free
our birth right
the right to be
a Human being

Post CommentSafe
Do we not live
in the ruins
of past pious words
do we not tread
the polluted waters
of today
do we not try
to keep afloat
while we hide the fear
of drowning out here
looking
for a place
thats safe
in the ruins
of past pious words
do we not tread
the polluted waters
of today
do we not try
to keep afloat
while we hide the fear
of drowning out here
looking
for a place
thats safe
